Collision detection

Hi all! As in my previous post, I have this little game with two people moving... But how can I make so one cant go into the other and the other cant go into the first? I tried letting the first move only if its height(i think) doesnt equal the other's height.. but that also restricted the first from going under or over the other! Here's my code: 

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "SDL.h"
#include "SDL_image.h"

SDL_Surface *screen;

void Draw(int x, int y, SDL_Surface *sprite);

int main(int nArgs, char **args)
{
    Uint8* keys;
    
    SDL_Surface *bg;
    bool isRunning;
    
    int height = 0, width = 0;
    int height2 = 0, width2 = 780;

    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_TIMER);
    atexit(SDL_Quit);

    screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(800, 600, 32, SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF);
    if (screen == NULL)
        return 0;
        
    bg = IMG_Load("bg.bmp");
    if (bg == NULL)
        return 0;
        
    SDL_Surface *mario1;
    mario1 = IMG_Load("mario1.bmp");
    if (mario1 == NULL)
        return 0;
        
    SDL_Surface *mario2;
    mario2 = IMG_Load("mario2.bmp");
    if (mario2 == NULL)
        return 0;
        
    SDL_Surface *luigi1;
    luigi1 = IMG_Load("luigi1.bmp");
    if (luigi1 == NULL)
        return 0;
        
    SDL_Surface *luigi2;
    luigi2 = IMG_Load("luigi2.bmp");
    if (luigi2 == NULL)
        return 0;
        
    bool MARIO1 = true, LUIGI1 = true;

    isRunning = true;
    
    SDL_SetColorKey(mario1, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, SDL_MapRGB(mario1->format, 0, 255, 255));
    SDL_SetColorKey(luigi1, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, SDL_MapRGB(luigi1->format, 0, 255, 255));
    SDL_SetColorKey(mario2, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, SDL_MapRGB(mario2->format, 0, 255, 255));
    SDL_SetColorKey(luigi2, SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, SDL_MapRGB(luigi2->format, 0, 255, 255));

    while(isRunning)
    {
        SDL_Event event;
        SDL_PollEvent(&event);

        switch (event.type)
        {
            case SDL_QUIT:
                isRunning = false;
            break;
            case SDL_KEYDOWN:
                 switch (event.key.keysym.sym)
                 {
                     case SDLK_ESCAPE:
                         isRunning = false;
                     break;
                 }
            break;
        }
        
        keys = SDL_GetKeyState(NULL);
        if (keys[SDLK_UP]) 
        { 
            if (height > 0)
                height -= 5;
        }
        if (keys[SDLK_DOWN]) 
        { 
            if (height < 380)
                height += 5;
        }
        if (keys[SDLK_LEFT]) 
        { 
            if (width > 0)
                width -= 5;
                
            MARIO1 = false;
        }
        if (keys[SDLK_RIGHT]) 
        { 
            if (width < 780)
                width += 5;
                
            MARIO1 = true;
        }
        
        if (keys[SDLK_KP8]) 
        { 
            if (height2 > 0)
                height2 -= 4;
        }
        if (keys[SDLK_KP5]) 
        { 
            if (height2 < 380)
                height2 += 4;
        }
        if (keys[SDLK_KP4]) 
        { 
            if (width2 > 0)
                width2 -= 4;
                
            LUIGI1 = false;
        }
        if (keys[SDLK_KP6]) 
        { 
            if (width2 < 780)
                width2 += 4;
                
            LUIGI1 = true;
        }
        
        SDL_FillRect(screen, NULL, SDL_MapRGB(screen->format, 0, 0, 0));
        
        Draw(0, 0, bg);
        
        if (MARIO1)
            Draw(width, height, mario1);
        else
            Draw(width, height, mario2);
            
        if (LUIGI1)
            Draw(width2, height2, luigi1);
        else
            Draw(width2, height2, luigi2);
        
        SDL_Flip(screen);
    }
    
    SDL_FreeSurface(bg);
    SDL_FreeSurface(mario1);
    SDL_FreeSurface(luigi1);
    SDL_FreeSurface(mario2);
    SDL_FreeSurface(luigi2);

    return 0;
}

void Draw(int x, int y, SDL_Surface *sprite)
{
    SDL_Rect source;
    SDL_Rect dest;

    source.x = 0;
    source.y = 0;
    source.w = sprite->w;
    source.h = sprite->h;

    dest.x = x;
    dest.y = y;
    dest.w = source.w;
    dest.h = source.h;

    SDL_BlitSurface(sprite, &source, screen, &dest);

    return;
}
Any help and examples are apreciated. I'm using Dev-CPP.

I didn't look at the code but if you only check the height that's for sure that it won't allow you to go under/over. Also check if it's at the same width.

I don't know how you code is made, but you might want to make a struct for your collision detection. Which contain the minimum width/max of your first char and min/max height aslo, and do it for the second one too.

Then check if the height and width is the same than respectivly min/max height and min/max width.

If yes don't allow him to move. That might not be perfect at the begening but I'm sure you will be able to work on it a bit more, else post again, and if I'm not clear tell me so.

I have three tutorials on collision detection here.

Feel free to email me(there's link at the bottom) if my tutorials don't explain it well enough.

Even though I dont get it much... thanks for answering. I'll try here and there and it might just work lol.

If you look at the source code to evoInvaders 0.1, I've implemented some basic collision testing for my entities. I can't remember where it is, I believe it's in ent_entitiy.c - it's a simple rect-collision test and should help you along.
